Better Regulation Practices across the European Union 2022

image of Better Regulation Practices across the European Union 2022

Laws and regulations affect the daily lives of businesses and citizens. It is important that they are designed in a way that takes account of their social, environmental and business impacts and ensures they remain relevant in today’s fast-changing context. The second edition of the Better Regulation Practices across the European Union report analyses recent developments and current practices for improving the quality of laws and regulations across all 27 EU Member States and the European Union. Using the OECD Indicators of Regulatory Policy and Governance, the report systematically assesses the use of evidence-based tools and stakeholder participation in the design and review of both domestic and EU laws and regulations, and provides a detailed assessment of the application of the proportionality principle. The report presents good regulatory practices and highlights areas that should receive further attention and investment.

Executive summary

EU Member States could better pursue regulatory co-operation beyond the borders of the European Union. The second edition of the Better Regulation Practices across the European Union report highlights that the European Union is the world’s most integrated form of international regulatory co-operation (IRC). Outside of EU integration, however, nearly 90% of Member States have only partial IRC policies in place. The European institutions – the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union –all need to work together and with Member States to tackle current and future challenges. Co‑operative rule making and policy coherence are becoming an increasingly important part of the global regulatory system.
